Uprooted: The Japanese American Experience during World War II
Albert Marrin
This historical account examines the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. It describes how the U.S. government detained more than 100,000 people, including its own citizens, because of their ancestry and doubts about their loyalty, keeping them in camps for much of four years. The book traces the history of racism in the United States and the route that led to this decision by a president widely admired by many Americans. It also addresses the consequences of a policy that uprooted Japanese American communities.
